Hi Naveen,
i think we use ABAP program under general services to generate an event.
searching form gave me following threads which might be helpfull
1) explains Evenet generation [Event raising procedure]
other helpfull threads
[Standard tools for Event raising]
[Event in Process Chain]
i could get the process for triggering it weekly,,,it may giv u some help in resolving
change the Start Process (1st process) in your Process Chain to trigger it to start after the event. To do this, maintain the Start Process of your Process Chain. Select "Direct Scheduling" and click the "Change Selections" icon. This will bring up a Start Time window. Click the "After Event" icon and enter your event name. Also, click the "Periodic Job" (this will insure that all the jobs created for each process in the Process Chain will reschedule themselves after executing the first time). Now save the Start Process, and reactivate and schedule the Process Chain.
To execute the Process Chain, use transaction SM64 to trigger the event.
If you want to trigger the event in batch, you will need to create an ABAP program that calls function module BP_EVENT_RAISE (sample ABAP code is available in this forum if you search for "BP_EVENT_RAISE").
We create batch jobs where we call an external program called SAPEVT, located on the server, and I believe is available on all SAP clients, with the following parameter:
EVTID('WEEKLY_PROCESS') SID(PU3) NUMBER(00) EVTPARM()
This will trigger the event WEEKLY_PROCESS.
See if this helps.

[email protected]

Hi,
Execute FM bp_event_raise in se37.
give input parameters:
EVENTID: ******* ( Mandetory , it is in process chain's event)
EVENTPARM: ( Optional)
TARGET_INSTANCE : (Optional).
Then press F8.
that all you need to do.

Event to trigger Process Chain

Hello Experts,
I need your suggestions to write an event to trigger a process chains after user put text file to server,
but the PC is not run.
here the step what I have done.
a. define an event SM62 "ZEV_PC_START"
b. create abap code to check the file if exist raise the event ZEV_PC_START with BP_EVENT_RAISE.
c. create Process chain.
d. schedule PC after event "ZEV_PC_START"
Could any one tell me the steps in brief. Pointers to any documentation would be highly appreciated.
thanks
supriatna

Hi expert,
I need create the abap code to check the file if exist raise the event ZEV_PC_START with BP_EVENT_RAISE.
I don't know ABAP, could you help me with the code?
Could you give me examples, please?
Thanks,
Best Regards.

Trigger Process chain at set time or when an event is raised.

Hi All,
I have a requirement where a process chain should get scheduled at fix time, say at 1:00 AM. Also, it should get scheduled when an event is raised by one BSP application. So, its like Set time OR Event should trigger the chain. Can you please guide, how can i implement this without using a special SM37 job?
Thanks and Regards,
Harpal

Hi Gohil,
The steps to create an event is as follows:
1. Create the event with SM62.
2. In the process chain, maintain your Start process. In the change selections screen, choose the button 'After event'. On the bottom, select your event. Click also on 'Periodic job'.
3. Activate and schedule your process chain. It will then be visible in SM37, waiting for the event.
4. Then you may raise this event from any ABAP program with function module BP_EVENT_RAISE. Each time you raise the event the process chain will start. You can raise the event also manually with SM64.
If you want to fix a time i.e., at 1:00 A.M, you need to got RSPC tcode --> click on the chain --> right click on Start variant --> Click on maintain variant --> Change selections --> Click on Date/Time --> Give the date and time.
If you want to ru7n your chain daily or weekly like periodically, check Periodic Job and click on "Period Values" and select accordingly. Now save everything and click on start variant and activate and schedule your chain.
Also check below thread for more info on Event:

How to Trigger process chains??

hi all
How to Trigger process chains??
Can anybody step by steps??
thanks
Senthil

The background control options are available to directly schedule the start process. You can start the start process immediately , that is when activating the process chain, for a specified time, or after a particular event. When you activate the process chain, the start process is scheduled in the background as defined in your selections.
You can also trigger the start of a process chain via a meta chain. A meta chain is when a process chain, to which you set this start condition, is fixed to another process chain. The process chain is started directly by this meta chain.
When you start the start process via a meta chain, it is not scheduled after you activated the related process chain. The process is only started when the meta chain, to which it is linked, is running.
The remaining chain processes, that is the application processes and the collection processes, are scheduled to wait for an event.
The start process has the following special features:
Only the start process can be scheduled without a predecessor process.
The start process can not be a successor to another process.
Only one start process is allowed for each process chain.
One start process can only be used in an individual process chain

Trigger a job using an event through a process chain

Hi,
After the success of 5metachain, I am using AND condition
My requirement is as follows, it should trigger a job which needs to be after AND condition,
I have created an event using sm64. Basically the client wants to trigger the job using the event through the process chain. I have tried test scenariou2019s using ABAP program (Process type) in the process chain but it is failing. Is there any other way to trigger a job using an event through a process chain? If ABAP program is the only option, can you please specify what all needs to be filled in the variant?
Regards.
Jerry

Hi,
Create a program like below,
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
    EVENTID = 'EVENT WHICH YOU HAVE CREATED'
EXCEPTIONS
   BAD_EVENTID                  = 1
   EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST       = 2
   EVENTID_MISSING              = 3
   RAISE_FAILED                 = 4
   OTHERS                       = 5
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
search and include the program name which you have created above in the "ABAP program" process type which you are going to include in the process chain.
Include the event which you have created in the start condition of the job.
Note: No need of give any variant, because here we are calling only one function in this program.

Sridevi.

Trigger process chains from UNIX

Hi,
I just wanted to know how can we trigger Process chains from UNIX Server.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

I suggest to use the sapevt.exe.
With it you can trigger an event in the SAP system with the execution of a simple command file (.bat for ex.)
So the event will start the chain as you require.
You can find more info for sapevt in:

PI Interface Posting Files - Trigger Process Chain Issue

Dear Reader,
Situation -
We get multiple flat files from source system via PI interface. To process this in BW 7.0 side we have created the web service interface. In the function module we have written a code to trigger process chain, once a data is posted.
Issue -
As there are multiple files being posted, the PC runs on completion of the every single post, which is not desired. We need to run the process chain only once at the end of all the files being posted.
Notes -
1. Number of files keep varying.
2. Clubbing all the files in a single file and then posting it would cause performance issues.
Request your help in find a way like -
1. A file being posted of name, say 'START PC', which can be trapped in the funciton module and controll the PC call.
2. <any Other idea>

How i run that delta infopackage in my process chain

Hello Sir,
i have a delta infopackage which sciduled in a process chain but it does not pick any delta i have to manualy run repair full infopackage dally and then delta comes in to picture my target is a dso so it does't have any problem.
the datasourse is costamize
delta pointer is cal day
my question is how i run that delta infopackage in my process chain
Thanks...

Hi
IS the process type "delta infopackage " is executing in the process chain or not? Plz once check in SM37 Tcode . and Why r u running the repair full request infopackage . If u miss any delta records then only u have to run the repair full request . If delta records are not extracted then better to manually extract the delta infopackage.
Plz once check in SM37 Tcode whether the execute infopackage process step is running or not? or any error has occured in that PC.
Thanx & Regards,
RaviChandra

How can we use CMC / events to trigger a process?

Is there a way we can make CMC / events to trigger a stored procedure or at least a .exe file?
how?

There's a starter on events here:
http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog/2013/01/07/cmcevents-in-business-objects-and-its-usage
Not sure exactly of your workflow, but you can also schedule a custom program object and schedule that to run based on your own timelines.

How can i raised custom event permanently?

using System;
using System.IO;
public class FileSizeWarningEventArgs : EventArgs
private readonly string _filePath;
private readonly decimal _fileSize;
public FileSizeWarningEventArgs(FileInfo file)
_filePath = file.FullName;
_fileSize = file.Length;
public string FilePath
get { return _filePath; }
public decimal FileSize
get { return _fileSize; }
public delegate void FileSizeWarningEventHandler(object sender, FileSizeWarningEventArgs e);
public class FileSizeMonitor
private event FileSizeWarningEventHandler _fileSizeWarning;
private readonly decimal _thresholdSizeInByte;
private readonly FileInfo _file;
public FileSizeWarningEventHandler FileSizeWarning
get { return _fileSizeWarning; }
set { _fileSizeWarning = value; }
public FileSizeMonitor(string filePathToMonitor)
_thresholdSizeInByte = 500;
try
_file = new FileInfo(filePathToMonitor);
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine("Exception occurred! Message: {0}", ex.Message);
public void CheckFileSize()
if (_file != null && _file.Length > _thresholdSizeInByte)
OnFileSizeWarning(new FileSizeWarningEventArgs(_file));
protected void OnFileSizeWarning(FileSizeWarningEventArgs e)
if (_fileSizeWarning != null)
_fileSizeWarning(this, e);
class Program
static void Main()
var file1 = new FileSizeMonitor("C:\\1.txt");
file1.FileSizeWarning += file1__fileSizeWarning;
file1.CheckFileSize();
public static void file1__fileSizeWarning(object sender, FileSizeWarningEventArgs e)
Console.WriteLine("The File Size is larger than threshold, Current File Size: {0}Byte", e.FileSize);
how can i change above code to raise event whenever file size has been larger than threshold?
what is advantage of Event when I can use following code instead?
using System;
using System.IO;
public class FileSizeMonitor
private readonly decimal _thresholdSizeInByte;
private readonly FileInfo _file;
public FileSizeMonitor(string filePathToMonitor)
_thresholdSizeInByte = 500;
try
_file = new FileInfo(filePathToMonitor);
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine("Exception occurred! Message: {0}", ex.Message);
public void CheckFileSize()
if (_file != null && _file.Length > _thresholdSizeInByte)
Console.WriteLine("The File Size is larger than threshold, Current File Size: {0}Byte", e.FileSize);
class Program
static void Main()
var file1 = new FileSizeMonitor("C:\\1.txt");
file1.CheckFileSize();
thank you/.

Hi, if your files keeps growing in size...you can add a thread, may be with background priority, in your first code which will check size of file at some interval and if at any instance it found it larger than the limit it will raise the event
which can be used to show error message.
Here is a your modified code...
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;
namespace SimpleUI
    publicclassFileSizeWarningEventArgs : EventArgs
        privatereadonlystring _filePath;
        privatereadonlydecimal _fileSize;
        public FileSizeWarningEventArgs(FileInfo file)
            _filePath = file.FullName;
            _fileSize = file.Length;
        publicstring FilePath
            get { return _filePath; }
        publicdecimal FileSize
            get { return _fileSize; }
    publicdelegatevoidFileSizeWarningEventHandler(object sender, FileSizeWarningEventArgs e);
    publicclassFileSizeMonitor
        publiceventFileSizeWarningEventHandler FileSizeWarning;
        privatereadonlydecimal _thresholdSizeInByte;
        privatereadonlyThread _demonThread;
        privatereadonlystring _filePathToMonitor;
        public FileSizeMonitor(string filePathToMonitor, decimal threshold)
            _filePathToMonitor
                = filePathToMonitor;
            _thresholdSizeInByte
                = threshold;
            _demonThread
                = newThread(CheckFileSizeDemon);
        publicvoid Start()

            try

                    if (_file != null && _file.Length > _thresholdSizeInByte)
                        OnFileSizeWarning(new FileSizeWarningEventArgs(_file));
